Linelight comes in as my fifth favorite puzzle game, but from pure puzzle design and mechanics, it might be the most impeccably-made puzzle game that I have played. You are a line of white light that follows a faded path of light while solving puzzles using simplistic mechanics like permanent button presses and avoiding dangerous, moving lines of light. Each puzzle encompasses one screen and leads directly to the next puzzle on another screen (though there are a few optional puzzles on hidden paths). The mechanics might be simple, but they are numerous and seemingly exhaust all possible combinations of the types, which is quite the accomplishment on its own. The learning curve of this game is one of the best that I've seen in a game. They gradually introduce new mechanics and expand on them and, as mentioned previously, combine them with others so seemlessly that you are mentally prepared for everything the game throws at you. The core of the game is excellent, but what makes this one of the more memorable video game experiences that I have had is how they made this ethereal experience. There's no plot or anything, but it the audio-visual presentation made me feel like I was on an important journey. The space setting with all the hues of blue, red, and green, the use of sporadically-placed stars, the effortlessly-looping, calming soundtrack, the animation of puzzles forming as you progress, and the touches at the end of each world/constellation to let you know that you are at its end are just something else. I can't really do this game much justice in writing, but I'm also trying to hold back (though still hyping it up quite a bit) because this is a game that you should go in blind like I did. I really emplore anyone who enjoys puzzle games or at least can appreciate one to try it out. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:950722780] in The Board ...
